Regulatory Compliance Notices

Federal Communications
Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide
an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices,
including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and
related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their
intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices in
both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as
well as additional operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls
into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A
devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Once the class of the
device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at personal expense.
